Key points

Both apps charge more as your roster grows. Trainerize uses separate add-ons for payments, video and nutrition; PT Distinction prices per active client with plan tiers. Work out which one adds cost as you take on clients.

I checked price pages and help guides. I have not tested both apps side by side.
